System Board
System Board 1-1
This high-performance, 32-bit personal computer system is based on
the 486 series microprocessor. It features the single-chip upgrade
technology which allows maximum ease and flexibility for upgrading
the system. It is fully compatible with the IBM PC/AT and is suitable
for use as a Windows workstation, CAD/CAE/CAM workstation, UNIX
personal workstation or desktop PC.
The system board accommodates an ISA riser card slot and two 72-
pin SIMM sockets that can hold a maximum memory of 36 MB. The
system architecture is based on the VESA local bus featuring an
onboard VGA. The VGA memory is expandable to 1 MB or 2 MB.
In a LAN environment, the system supports 16-bit Arcnet cards,
Ethernet cards and Token Ring cards. It is fully compatible with Novell
NetWare and Microsoft LAN Manager and also with SCO UNIX,
XENIX and OS/2 operating systems.
The system has a number of software-controlled security features.
These include power-on password, disk drive read/write control,
diskette boot control, serial- and parallel-port control, and a system
setup control.
Installing options such as memory modules, expansion boards and an
upgrade CPU enhance system performance. This chapter gives step-
by-step instructions on how to install these options.

1.2 ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives,
expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the
following precautions before you install a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until
you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the
system unit before handling components. If a wrist strap is not
available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.
Integrated circuits are extremely susceptible
to electrostatic discharge. Do not handle ICs
unless you are a qualified service technician,
using tools and techniques that conform to
accepted industry practices.
1.3 Pre-installation Instructions
Follow these steps before you install a system component:
1. Turn off the system power and all the peripheral devices
connected to the unit before you open it.
2. Open the system according to the instructions in the housing
installation manual.
3. Follow the ESD precautions in section 1.2 before handling a
system component.
4. Remove any expansion boards or peripherals that block access
to the SIMM sockets or CPU socket.
5. See the following sections for specific instructions on the
component that you wish to install.
System Board 1-5
Do not attempt the procedures described in
the following sections unless you are a
qualified service technician.

1.5.1 Installing a SIMM
Observe ESD precautions when installing
SIMMs. See section 1.2.
Follow these steps to install a SIMM:
1. Insert the SIMM into the socket at a slight angle, making sure that
the cut edge of the SIMM touches the base of the circle mark on
the SIMM socket.
2. Gently press the SIMM back against the holding clips on both
ends of the socket until the peg slips into the holes on the SIMM,
and the holding clips lock the SIMM into position. See Figure 1-3.
3. Check that the SIMM is securely seated in its slot and that both
ends are locked to the socket.

1.5.2 Removing a SIMM
Observe ESD precautions when removing
SIMMs. See section 1.2.
1. Press the holding clips on both sides of the SIMM outward to
release it.
2. Push the SIMM upward.
3. Gently pull the SIMM out of the socket.
